Following the trend of headquarters moving to Texas from other states and countries, two companies have recently announced that they are moving their headquarters to Plano: GoVerden and Simplilearn.
GoVerden is an avocado supplier and ready-made guacamole vendor based in Michoacán, Mexico.
“We are pleased to establish our new home base in Plano,” said Rick Joyal, vice president of North American sales at GoVerden. “North Texas offers excellent travel connectivity within the U.S. and to our key markets in Canada, Europe and Mexico. This new office will enable us to better serve our distributors, partners, retailers and suppliers, and to identify new opportunities to grow our brand.”
According to a release, the new United States headquarters, located in Legacy West, has allowed the brand to double the size of its staff.
“We have been adding more points of distribution across North America for our own branded guacamole and doubling our efforts to support growth in the Foodservice Channel,” Joyal said. “The new headquarters is essential to continue this momentum and to reach more customers as we expand our product offerings.”
Simplilearn, a digital training (digital upskilling) global company, announced last week that the company would relocate its United States headquarters to Plano.
“Our move to Texas marks a pivotal moment in our journey, driven by our commitment to being at the forefront of a thriving tech ecosystem and tapping into a diverse talent pool,” Founder and CEO of Simplilearn Krishna Kumar said. “Establishing our headquarters here positions us to better empower professionals with the skills needed to excel in a digital-first world. We are excited to engage with this vibrant community and contribute to the growth of the digital economy across the U.S., and around the world.”
Simplilearn has over 3,000 employees across its Plano and Bangalore, India headquarters and offices around the country. The company’s new headquarters are located at 5851 Legacy Circle.
Plano is home to over 500 corporate and regional headquarters.
